RE: just got it
Nice, looks kinda old school, is it? - and you got it new. Where and how much?
Yes Kits are much better - if you are going to do upgrades and hop-ups and already have your own electronics.
RTR - is a better value - if you are just bashing, and you dont have your own electronics.

RE: just got it
how much faster would it go with a sports tuned AND bearings. my run time with this is only like 5 minutes but my mates grasshopper with my battery lasts like nearly twice as long why is this

RE: just got it
something is wrong with your pinion / spur mesh, OR your motor is nearing retirement -thus eating batteries. bearings will help runtime too. with a ST motor, esc and bearings, expect around 15-20 minutes of runtime with a 3600mah pack, and a top speed of 22-24mph.
